Re: if we are going after a bat..

I truly believe david dejesus is the answer, some might agree or disagree but, the guy is a very solid player and would give us some good at bats everynight, what do you all think?

I'm starting to come around on this idea. This team sure could use a guy who gets on base AND makes contact.

...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.

Re: if we are going after a bat..

Dejesus would be such a great addition to this lineup, but wouldnt we almost have to unload either Gomes or Bruce to make it work? I would want Dejesus starting every game and leading off, but I don't think that Walt would want to ship off Gomes for fear of altering team chemistry and we would be selling low on Bruce.

There seems to be too much of a dropoff between Stubbs' and Dejesus' defense to consider him in center, but maybe I'm wrong about that.
